Some years ago Christine Nilsson,
whose recent marriage you remember, had
the lines of her hand examined by q
palmist, who told her she would have
trouble from two causes, fire and maniacs.
This prediction was verified, for during
the Chicago fire she lost 500, 900, and
when Boston was burned she lost $780,
600. When at New York a crazy man
followed her for a week, believing that
the words addressed by Marguerite to
Faust were intended for himself. In
Chicago a poor student decided to marry
her, and wrote passionate letters, 10 which
he received no answer. One day he came
in a superb sleigh, drawn by four horses,
to take his aflianced bride to the church.
The manager quieted him by saying:
lyon are late; Nine. Nilsson has gone
there to wait for You" The third insane
person was her husband, NJ. Rouzeaud,
who died in m northumberland Record,

Old Time OYSTER Stews.

'There are some marked changes in the
oyster business" remarked an old gentle
mar to a reporter. TWENTY-FIVE years
ago there was in vogue in the oyster
saloons what was called the individual
chafe.' You were allowed to stew your
own oysters. The proprietors brought to
the table after you were seated q chatting
dish, an alcohol lamp, milk, oysters,
crackers, seasoning, ETC., and you pre-
pared the stew to suit yourself. 1t may
not have been exceedingly profitable, but
it was popular. Night after night a
party of us would nave our regular stew,
the privilege TO make them ourselves
being quite an inducement. We would
have Il oysters promptly, four chatting
dishes a-going at once. 1t would take
well TO introduce his method again.

Hog Guessing on Long Island.

The season is rapidly approaching when
harvest homes viii he superseded by hog
guessing, the favorite amusement of Long
Islanders. The manner of proceeding is
as follows:
Handbills are printed announcing the
time and place Of the proceedings. The
name and assumed weight Of the hogs, to-
gether with the cost of the tickets, are also
advertised. Zach person registers his es-
innate Of the weight upon the ticket be-
fore surrendering it. Then u hog whose
name and assumed weight has been adj
vertised is killed and dressed. The per-
son who guesses the exact weight Of the
slaughtered animal takes him, or the
guess nearest the correct figure entities
the guesser TO the meat "Reckoning"
or "allowing'' is not permitted. Par
Elephants, however, can guess as many
times as they are willing and able to pay
for the privilege. Some of the swine
slaughtered are of enormous dimensions
and tip the scales anywhere from 400 TO
600 pounds.
Various articles are resorted TO by
which the weight Of the animals is ascer-
tanned or Appropriated beforehand. Ere
quently measurements are taken upon
which guesses are based, and sometimes
the actual weight is ascertained at night.

The Gas Meter Dangerous.

The meters which gas companies intro
duce into our houses are put together
with solder that melts ut n low degree OF
heat. When a fire originates near a gas
meter the heat very soon causes it to fall
apart, and the unchecked flow of gas from
the infiuent pipe quickly fills the premises
with a roaring and devastating flame.
After every fire, when there is a total loss
of the building, a blazing stream Of gas
roars on beneath falling walls and debris,
until measures are taken to stop the sup
ply Of gas from the street mains. With
these facts before e~verybody's eyes ii
seems strange that no attempt is made TO
have meters differently constructed, or
some way devised to prevent the loss that
necessarily results from the present state
Of things. The Engineer.

The Indian prayer meetings in the
country are rather a singular admiXture
of superstition and devotion. A doll is
dressed in silk clothes, with candles on
each side, n good bit Of tinsel work about
ii and a ribbon tied about its waist. 1t
rests on the table. Eight or ten indian
men stand around. One has a large
drum, which he beats continually. The
women sit on the floor, while the men
sing prayers to the saint, the women re-
spending. They mmence praying about
7 or ) O'Clock and keep it up W or three
hours. Then the women with their little
children kiss the ribbons, asking favors of
the saint. The men then go through the
same cerenNCiIy. The saint is then locked
up in a box, and dancing commences and
lasts the rest Of the night. Frequent po-
lions of whisky are imbibed by the men,
coffee and wine by the women. When
the men become too drunk TO dance
longer they retire to their hammocks and
sleep until sober. -Pittsburg CONNER

Saturdays Races.

There was very slim attendance at
the Driving Park Saturday, considering
the good races on the programme.
There were number of good horses in
the ring and the races were carried in
proper style, although they were very
slow in starting. Geo. Wolfe was in
the judges stand as starter and
showed his ability to conduct race
meeting to everybody's satisfaction.
The first race was in the 2:30 class
and there were five entries-Brewster
Invincible, Strangemoor, Black Hawk
McGregor and Competitive. Five heats
were trotted, and Brewster, Invincible
and Strangemoor each Wor two heats.
Time, 1924, 2:299, 2:324, 2:S2. On ae-
count of the latenesssof the hour when
the last heat was trotted the finishing
heat will trotted this afternoon.
Between the heats of the first race
the roadsters were brought on the
tract and three heats were won by
II. V. Bundrem's horse, BILLY" Times
1902.
At o'clock the free for all stallion,
were brought on the track. There were
two entries, Norman Medium and
Counselor. The first heat was won by
Counselor in 2:264. The second and
third heats were won by Norman Me-
dunn. Time, 2:2O, 2:224. A rousing
cheer went up from the audience as the
time in the second heat was announced.
Norman Medium was bred in Ken
lucky, is a Hambletonian and was
sired by Happy Medium. He is six
years old and this is his second year in
the ring, having been started this sea-
son in the 2:SO class and has worked his
way down to 2:2O in less than season.
He is the very picture of true horse
flesh and is built for going.
Thursday afternoon there will be
racing at the Driving Park and the
proceeds will be for the benefit of the
Emporia band.

ana BuEk1As
One OF the most pleasant affairs of
the society season took place Friday
evening at the Whitley, the event being
the reception given by Messrs. Beeeher,

greenhouse of plants tastefully ar
ranged. The guests began to arrive
about $50 and after removing their
wraps were received IN the parlors by
the gentlemen and their matrons.
They continued to arrive until
$50, and the orchestra kept up their
programme of good selections during
the hour.
Several minutes were spent in social
conversation, when dancing was an
nounced. The floors of the parlors and
Railways had been covered with can.
vas and were utilized by the lovers OF
terpsichore. A gay time was spent in
dancing and promenading through the
Railways until late hour.
Refreshments were served in the

other delicaeies, furnished by the pop
ular caterer, Mr.. J. II. Hawkins

Love vs.. WIniamson.

Nearly all of the Badger creek set
Element came in Saturday to wit
ness the trial of Love VS.. Williamson
before Justice Fletcher. Love gathered
up herd of cattle in the spring to
herd during the summer, taking them
at so much a month from his neigh
bors. The drought came on and he
was forced to let them go back to
the owners. Some of them came tothe
herd and got their cattle and some
gave their nearest neighbor authority
to get them. In this way matters got
considerably mixed and some refused
to pay Love the time he had their cat
tie. Williamson had his goods ready
to ship to Argentine, where he is going
to live, when Love attached them, and
the suit to-day is to decide whether
Williamson really owes him the SO
claimed. Several more suits on the
same question hang on the decision of
this one. Owing to conflicting testi-
mony, the peculiar circumstances of
the case and many different points to
be considered the judge has taken it
under advisement and will render a
decision at the earliest time possible.
The State Normal School will con-
tain fifty rooms when the new wing is
completed.
